Yes, and as soon as two thing happen, the democrats will return to power:
1.)The figure out how to campaign against stop-at-noghting ugly campaining republicans
2.)The public reaizes the country is continuing it's downhill slide, and no amount of talk about 9/11 or terrorism matters any more.
It's a cycle...one side fucks it up, then it goes to the other, so on and so forth...
This election proves that scare tactics do work.
